Authorities, neighbors fed up with marijuana smell wafting from Ypsilanti Township home

Authorities are asking a judge to crack down on excessive marijuana emissions emanating from a man's Ypsilanti Township home.

YPSILANTI TOWNSHIP, Mich. -

Authorities are asking a judge to crack down on excessive marijuana emissions emanating from a man's Ypsilanti Township home.

Officials are not sure how much marijuana the man is growing in the residence that once flew a flag bearing a marijuana leaf. The man in the house grows medical marijuana. Michigan law says that is fine. The township has had no reported problem with his marijuana plants.

But neighbors are fed up with the strong odor that's strongest between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.

Township officials are asking a Washtenaw County Circuit Court judge to curtail the emissions.

"It's not about growing marijuana. It's about using your property ... it's a quality of life issue. It's a nuisance to your neighboring property owners," said Doug Winters, Ypsilanti Township attorney.
